Resort
Entry-level room, fully renovated December 2024. Garden or resort view. King or twin configuration. The baseline post-renovation is in good condition — the issues from older reviews about dated rooms no longer apply.
Partial Ocean
Angled or lateral ocean view from the balcony. A meaningful step up from the standard room for guests who want a glimpse of Bloody Bay.
Ocean
Direct frontal ocean view. Bloody Bay Beach from the balcony. Worth the upgrade for guests who plan to spend time on the balcony.
Resort
Two-bedroom layout for families. Garden or resort view. Two separate bedrooms with shared living space.
Ocean
Ground-floor room with direct pool access from a terrace, plus a sea view. The combination of pool access and ocean view is the defining feature. Adults-only pool section.
Ocean Front
The top swim-up category — direct access to a pool positioned with an ocean-front view. The most immersive water experience at this property. Limited inventory; book early.
Resort
Larger living space with a sitting area. The premium non-swim-up category for guests who want more space.
Ocean Front
Two-bedroom family configuration. The largest family-oriented layout. Suitable for families of 4–6.
